classic lemon loaf with coconut glaze

There are not many secrets for a perfect classic lemon loaf. You need the right proportions between your basic ingredients and finding some flavourful lemons and that is about it. The problem is when you don´t find decent lemons. Around this time of the year they are not as good as they should be. So I decided a little lemon oil would make the difference and enhance the flavour.

To balance the tartness I always finish my loaf with a sweet glaze and sometimes I dust it with poppy seeds, but this time, after seeing this combination work successfully in other recipes, I thought it would be good to try with coconut.

The sweet, sugary glaze trapped the coconut flakes and together provided the necessary crunch to this lemon savoured, delicate and light loaf. The perfect excuse for some afternoon tea time on Labour´s Day!

Visiting from Saturday Night Fever. That looks delicious, I love the flavour combination. I co-host Sweet and Savoury Sunday and would love for you to stop by and share these and other recipes with us when the party goes live tonight . Have a great day!
